Moving to a foreign country is an amazing experience. It’s an opportunity to put yourself in 【1】 different culture. However, before starting your adventure, there are some decisions 【2】(make).

They showed me which buses to take to get to work, 【7】(cook) dinner for me and took me with them on trips to the beach. These were great opportunities to experience French culture, 【8】 in turn helped me feel more comfortable.

Moreover, living with French people was a great way to improve my language skills. My host family was happy to answer my questions and corrected me 【9】 I said something wrong, which made me a better French speaker.

Besides this, the experience of living abroad is one that you will remember forever. You might return 【10】 their birthdays, weddings and much more. It will be a precious memory for the rest of your life.

Any bird that crossed his path would be eaten by Rex, a German shepherd. Rex【1】(rescue) from his previous shelter, where he was going to be put down after a biting incident. Last year, he【2】(eventual) arrived at Puriton Horse and Animal Rescue.

Geraldine was a goose abandoned by owners who could no longer put up 【3】 her. She wasn’t exactly the picture of 【4】(warm), either, when she arrived at the same shelter three months ago. The dog and the goose were individually given labels like cruel and dangerous. Neither seemed particularly harmonious with humans or even members of their own species.

But when the two 【5】(annoy) creatures were offered a chance to hang out together, something magical happened. They chased each other when first 【6】(introduce), but Geraldine stood up for herself and that was that. They just fell in love with each other.

“I’ve been doing rescue work since 1997 and seen all 【7】(kind) of strange animal behavior, but I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Sheila Brislin, 【8】is the founder of the shelter. “It’s so amusing to see them because they love each other to bits. They are very affectionate. She just【9】 (run) around alongside him all day long and whenever we take him for 【10】walk in the woods she has to come, too.”

Christine closed the door to Anna’s room. Inside, her classmate and friend had fallen asleep.

Downstairs, Christine’s mom, Donna, was grasping Anna’s mother Sheila around the shoulders.

“We should go,” she said. “Get some rest, huh?” Sheila nodded, blew her nose, and then waved them goodbye.

On the car ride home, Christine worked up the courage to ask the question on her mind. “Mom? Why was Sheila weeping?” She thought she knew the answer, of course: Anna’s cancer. In the past, Anna had been the neighborhood do-gooder, always going door to door for various causes: the local animal shelter, suffering children in Africa, or the families who’d lost their homes to fire. Now Anna could barely feed or dress herself. Christine thought it so unfair when bad things like this happened to good people.

“Well, it’s complex, but I guess you’re old enough to understand.”

“Understand what?”

“Understand that Anna is sick, yes, but Anna actually gets a lot of help. The government helps pay for a lot of her medicine. She gets meals delivered to her by a nonprofit. She even gets massages from local volunteers.”

“Wow!”

“Her life’s still very hard, of course, and no one would trade places with her, but when you have cancer, everyone can see that you need help, “continued Donna.” They don’t always see that the people around you are suffering.”

“People like Sheila?”

“Yes, did you know that Sheila took a break from her job to stay home with Anna?”

“No!” Christine was surprised. She had never thought about who took Anna to her appointments, or fed her when she was too weak to lift a spoon. Of course it was her family.

“Yes. So that means that many of the things they used to do with that extra money are all out the window now. They’re even worried now about keeping the house.”

“Their house? So Anna might have to move, while she’s sick?”

“If she doesn’t get better soon, and the bills keep piling up...” Donna pulled into the driveway, and just in time. Her cheeks were shining with tears.

Yesterday I was caught in heavy storm in the street. I got wet all over. With a taxi come, I raised my hand, and the driver asks me to get in quickly. I thought he would overcharge me, but I hesitated. He smiled and said he won’t charge much than usual. As the rain had become heavier, I had to get into the taxi. Fifteen minutes late, I arrived at my house. But shortly after I went in, I realized I didn’t have my case. Just as I was beginning to feel anxiously, I heard of someone knocking on the door. To my great surprise, it was the taxi driver with my case in her hand. I was so excited that I couldn’t say something before he drove away.

“The survey of more than 55,000 students, conducted by the research firm Universum, has found that roughly a quarter want to work for an international company, while only 9％ want to work for a start-up. Five percent want to start their own business.”

The students said that work-1ife balance was the most important career goal, followed by job stability. When it comes to desirable companies, Bank of China has been named the top choice by business students for seven consecutive years, and the gigantic state-owned firm shows no signs of giving up its lead.

William Wu, the China country manager for Universum, said that banking remains an attractive industry for young Chinese. “China’s government is now emphasizing the revolution of the finance industry, which leaves the younger generation with the impression that although banking is a traditional industry, there are still a lot of development opportunities.” Wu said.

E-commerce giant Alibaba (BABA, Tech30) improved six places from 2014, ranking second among business students. Alibaba’s rise shouldn’t come as much of a surprise—the company held a record-breaking $25 billion IPO in September.

Among engineering students, Alibaba was once again a bridesmaid. Instead, Huawei—a telecoms infrastructure firm that now makes consumer products-took the top spot.

“Both of these companies are pioneers in terms of local companies going international.” said Wu. “It shows that… an international development strategy has a positive influence among Chinese young talents.” Tech companies ruled the rankings for humanities students, with Alibaba—which was ninth in 2014 一 landing at the top. Last year, Apple was the Number l choice of Chinese students.

Scientists have found a reliable way to lengthen life in lab animals:Reduce the amount of calories(卡路里)they eat.

This method,【1】(know)as caloric restriction, has been shown to lengthen life of organisms ( 有 机体 )and reduce some age-related【2】(disease).Whether it can do the same in people has been an open question. 【3】 ,a new study suggests that in adults, long-term restriction of calorie intake can have an effect on their health.

The researchers looked at a group of 143 healthy adults who ranged in age【4】21 to 50. They were instructed【5】(practice)caloric restriction for two years.They could eat the foods they wanted so long as they cut back on the foods they ate,with the aim of【6】(cut)the calories they consumed by 25 percent.

Many did not achieve that goal.On average,the dieters managed to cut down about 12 percent of their total calories, or【7】(rough)300 calories a day. But the group saw many of their health markers improve. They【8】(lose)body fat, their blood pressure fell slightly, and they had better blood sugar control. Meanwhile, another 75 healthy adults 【9】 did not practice caloric restriction saw no 【10】 (improve)in these markers.
